Attacks on Palestinian protestors: Israeli sniper says he hit ’42 knees’ in a day
Israeli snipers killed over 200 Palestinians and injured 8,000 in two years at border with Gaza strip.
GAZA: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-March 6th, 2020) At least 42 Palestinians were hit on their knees in a day long attack by Israeli snipers during weekly protests at Gaza-Israel border, an Israeli newspaper claimed here on Friday.
According to daily Haaretz, Israeli snipers killed over 200 Palestinians and left 8,000 injured in two years period on weekly protests organized by Palestinians for their rights.
"I hit 52 knees what I remember," said an Israeli sniper.
“ I kept the casing of every round I fired. I have them in my room.
So I don’t have to make an estimate – I know: 52 definite hits.” Eden—who is Israeli sniper—was quoted by the paper as saying.
However, the Palestinians continued their weekly protests for two years against Israeli oppression.
“ Despite the large number of casualties, the grim protests and responses along the fence continued unabated for nearly two years, until it was decided to reduce the frequency to once a month. Yet even in real time, the violent Friday afternoon ritual provoked little public interest in Israel,” the paper added.
